About 3CAT-5/B (TYVAK-0162)
3CAT-5/B (TYVAK-0162) is a satellite from SPN, launched on Sep 3, 2020 from French Guiana.
It circles Earth every 93 minutes (15.5 times a day), between 409 and 413 km up, on an orbit tilted 97.2° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 83° north and south.
The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
Orbit height over the past year
Over the last 20 days its lowest point went from 411 km to 409 km. Sudden rises are engine burns that lift the orbit; slow declines are drag from the thin upper atmosphere.
From Space-Track element sets, one point a day.
